Course information

Students must have some knowledge of English to take the course English Elementary 2. You have to be able, for example, to arrange an appointment with someone in writing or orally, and to form sentences using the present simple and past simple tenses.

During English Elementary 2, you will learn to talk about things that happened in the past, for example a trip you took. You will also learn how to write a structured email about your holiday plans or about a film or television series you have seen.

On completion of this course, you will be able to make yourself understood in English when on holiday: for example asking for tourist information, checking into a hotel and asking the way. You will be able to read simple texts, including personal blogs on lifestyle, food and sport,  as well as being able to understand videos on these topics.

Grammar covered in English Elementary 2 includes the use of various present tenses (present continuous and present perfect). You will learn how to talk about the future using sentences with going to, and how to give advice using should and shouldn’t (you should visit your mother more often).

If you successfully complete this course, you will receive a certificate showing the level you have attained and you will be able to continue to English Pre-Intermediate 1.
